Hi There, Please can somebody help me, I am trying to find out some more details about my 2 Great Uncles, Hugh and Andrew Campbell who were both killed in the Boer War, both appear to have served with the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders. Any further info would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks, Steve, (Paisley, Scotland)
